Top tips from a top Trove user

Stop the Presses! Trove interviewed me about digging through their old newspapers, the thrill of the chase and the discovery. trove.nla.gov.au/blog/2023/07/2…

I talked about the Faraday kidnappings with three teachers, reading the 1972 newspaper articles from the Canberra Times in Trove. If you have always wished True Crime pods had more discussion of school zoning, this is for you. inthosedays.transistor.fm/episodes/one-d…

New episode about Alison Sanchez (nee Binns) who grew up in Canberra when it was still mainly paddocks. Her dad was one of the first national librarians in Canberra. So it felt very appropriate to use the National Library of Australia's Trove to learn more about her. inthosedays.transistor.fm/episodes/aliso…

This is a photo of the first load of books to be moved from the Melbourne Parliament to the new capital, Canberra. Big job. Not surprised it took Ken Binns a whole year! Listen to more about the early days of Canberra here: podcasts.apple.com/sa/podcast/ali…

Mum told me she thought this episode was quite interesting. Maybe you, or your mum, would find it an improvement on complete silence too? nma.gov.au/defining-momen…

New ep out on early services for mothers/babies. People were just as judgey in the past as they are now but we all agreed keeping the beer in the baby's milk cooler just makes sense. inthosedays.transistor.fm/episodes/richm…
